Why clients call

A failed prototype costs more than a simulation.

Every build–test–fail loop burns weeks and tens of thousands of dollars. A good simulation shows you what will happen — and why — before you cut metal.

“Our motor overheats at peak load and we can’t see where the hot spot is.”

→ Two-phase oil + conjugate heat transfer shows which winding zones stay dry and where to put the nozzles.

“The fire authority wants proof that our car park stays tenable in a fire.”

→ 3-D smoke & heat simulation with your real jet fans, with time-resolved tenability at every escape route.

“If a landslide hits the reservoir, will the wave overtop the dam?”

→ Terrain-to-CFD model from satellite data: wave speed, water level at the dam, affected zones.

What we simulate

The hard physics that push-button tools skip.

Thermal management & e-mobility

Oil-cooled e-motors, battery cold plates, water jackets, power electronics, data-centre liquid cooling.

Multiphase & free-surface

VOF, sprays and films, dynamic wetting, sloshing, waves, spillways — with adaptive mesh refinement.

Fire, smoke & ventilation

Car parks, tunnels, high-rise and battery storage; HVAC and indoor thermal comfort.

Floods & natural hazards

Dam break, landslide-generated waves, urban flooding — from public terrain data to 3-D models.

Design optimisation

Automated DAKOTA + OpenFOAM loops: hundreds of geometry variants, the best one picked for you.

Custom solvers & training

New OpenFOAM solvers for your physics; hands-on training so your team can run them.

How it works

Clear from day one. No surprises.

You know the scope, price and deadline up front — and you see progress all the way.

Why open source

Results you can inspect, re-run and own.

OpenFOAM is used across the automotive, aerospace and energy industries. The difference is never the software — it is knowing which numbers to trust.

  • No five-figure annual licence in your quote
  • We change the algorithm when your physics is not built in
  • Open case files — your team can re-run new variants
  • No vendor lock-in, ever

VQ
Who does the work

Dr. Van Quan Hoang

PhD in Mechanics & Energy (ISAE-ENSMA, France). Former R&I engineer at IFPEN and R&D manager at ENEAD, France. Author of a two-phase conjugate heat transfer solver for e-motor cooling. You work directly with the expert — no account managers, no hand-off to juniors.

FAQ

Before you ask.

Is OpenFOAM as accurate as Ansys Fluent or STAR-CCM+?

Accuracy comes from the physics models, mesh quality and validation — not from the software brand. Every study includes a mesh-independence check and a comparison with experiments or reference solutions; for example, our oil-jet solver is within 3.0 % of 20 experiments.

Is my geometry and data kept confidential?

Yes. We sign an NDA before receiving any file. Client projects are never published without written permission.

What do I need to provide?

A short description and the question you want answered is enough to start. Later: CAD (STEP/STL), operating conditions, material properties and any measured data you have.

How much does it cost?

Every study gets a fixed price after the free review. A typical study costs less than one prototype iteration — and far less than one year of a commercial CFD licence.

How long does it take?

Feasibility review: 24 h. Standard study: 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. Express timelines are possible.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We work in English, French and Vietnamese, remotely, with clients in any time zone.
